Just saw 2 anchors on CNN pissed off people are exercising in San Francisco

Shelter in place means SHELTER IN YOUR HOUSE. No, it does NOT mean large numbers of people hanging out on the waterfront. None of those people are keeping apart from the rest. I'm watching that video too, and I am watching Gupta right now and he is right. How many thousands are going to die before the "MY NEEDS" people get the message?

Found a video on twitter

https://twitter.com/RobGeorge/status/1240075591384252417

People exercising and keeping distance. Everywhere I have read is that couples do not need to keep distance from one another since they share a bed.

So we have people in 1s and 2s exercising and staying apart from one another. No one sitting on a bench, etc.

Many news people and most doctors are complete idiots in real life situations.

I went and looked this up. Everything in the video to me looks permissible by the San Francisco order and perhaps actually encouraged by the shelter-in-place order. If you want to get technical you could argue the one woman may pass the other couple without 6 feet of distance but otherwise outdoor exercise seems to be encouraged.

Rules are here:

There is a FAQ at the link above that says people can exercise.

Can I leave home to exercise?

If you will be both outdoors and not in close contact with other people, yes.

then there is a part that says what sports are permissible:

running alone or with others with distance

riding your bike (alone/with distance)

walking (alone/with distance) ... ( a few others)

Now some might say the people in the video are not with the proper distance.

However a subsequent section actually once could argue encourages what we see in the video:

I become anxious when cooped up in my house. Am I allowed to go to a park or on a hike? Can I travel to a County park or open space?

Yes. Spending time outside improves mood and wellbeing, and is particularly beneficial to children. You can go for walks, go to the park, and engage in other similar activities, but should maintain social distance (i.e. be more than 6 feet away from persons who are not part of your household) when on walks and in parks to avoid spread of the virus.

Looks to me everyone in the video could be said to be complying with what the edict seems to be encouraging. If you want to get technical I guess you could try and argue some of the paired people aren't couples.

Wejo! Do you believe that president Trump's guidelines for approaching this disease is appropriate as of March 17th? Yes or no. Just yes or no.

You're not missing anything. You are right.

I trust the CDC guidelines I found on their site which are directing to the White House so if they are the same that is a yes.

But they are dated 3/16

Live in a large, densely populated city? Hitting the popular running routes with every other runner in the city is a dumb move.

Live in a suburb or small town where runners are still considered oddballs? You are probably OK since you probably won't encounter very many folks on your run.

It looks a bit crowded, but I think the camera skews depth perception by telescoping (like marathons on tv). Close call. I think it's still good to get outside some but not on crowded paths.

If only CNN was half as outraged over people taking a dump on the same streets.

WTF would you do if you couldn't exercise? Laid off from your job or told to work at home, everything closed. Can't even eat at a restaurant. People would blow their brains out if they couldn't at least get outside. Gupta and people with his opinion seem to think the orders are to punish people, not stop covid-19. Its the governments fault, not the general population's, if anyone's that things have gotten so bad.

The least immunocompromised people in a population that was used to events all the time? Ya, nothing short of martial law is going to keep them indoors. Best to just get them to not congregate.

The CNN guys were not upset because these people weren't following the rules. They are upset because they don't believe anyone should be out running around.

Considering the virus can be transmitted airborne I wouldn't trust the 6 foot rule as some sort of impenetrable barrier.

A runner with covid-19 could go by a certain spot and cough or breathe out some of the virus into the air and then you come along that same route 45 seconds later and breathe it right in. All the while you were no closer than 200 meters to one another.

Would you send your 80 year old mother/grandmother out along that same path way and not worry one bit? Or do you think it's possible the virus could still spread?

I'm not an expert, but I don't trust people when they give arbitrary numbers like 6 feet. You know if we used the metric system they would have said 2 meters. Kinda like making the quarantine period 14 days initially. It just happened to be two weeks right? BS. Why not 13 days? or 15? or 27?

When people use arbitrary numbers like that there is a high probability they don't know as much as they are pretending to.

It's getting so stupid with these draconian lockdowns of the entire planet. I crack up at these mind-controlled medical experts who say we need to imprison everyone so as to "flatten the curve." Too funny. Fattening the curve isn't going to get rid of the virus - it's still going to be out there when we finally (hopefully) get our freedom back. Some experts says the virus could be around as long as July or August, others through 2021.

This is a terrible time of mental stress & anguish as a result of being imprisoned by tyranical government leaders. In a time like this, people need to excercise to relieve stress and stay healthy. Gyms should have remained open so again people can excercise and stay healthy. You can still practice social distancing and sanitizing measures while there.

The experts should be telling the American people to get out and excercise, go to the gyms, eat healthy, drink plenty of fluids, take vitamin D3 & C, These are measures that will not only relieve stress but keep the immune system healthy to fight off all kinds of pathogens.

But as no surprise the medical experts know nothing about about nutrition and excercise. They're in the business of treating every ailment with toxic drugs and of course; fear-mongering.

What was Gupta doing in SF? How did he get there, on a plane? If seems like he was in NY or Washington the last time I saw him on CNN. So he is flying all over the country but complaining about people taking a walk?

this coronavirus lockdown is merely a hoax to get fat people to take walks when they go stir-crazy in their house.

yes, i said it in jest, but it might be crazy enough to be true.

And NO means NO.

This all seems like some crazy social experiment to see what nonsense the government can get people to accept. NO we won't all stay home. Let's see how big an army the government of San Fran has, if they want to use force.

You just keep your 80 year old grandmother safely tucked away in her trailer and leave the rest of us the F out of it.

The Mayor of New York, De Blasio, wants to put a "shelter in place" edict in place but his motorcade was filmed sitting outside a gym in NYC as he worked out inside. They guy is as crooked as they come.
